Council Agrees To Make Bid On River Site

November 14, 1985

HOLLY HILL — Buying a 6.7-acre sandy point that juts into the Halifax River has been on the city council's mind for years. Now the council is trying to do more than think about it.

By a 3 to 2 vote, the council agreed Tuesday to offer Bellemead Development Corp. of Daytona Beach Shores $430,000 for the land to preserve it for future residents. The point is one of the few remaining undeveloped places on the river's west bank in the Daytona Beach area.
